Mountainfilm at Watercolor November 4 & 5, 2011

Not to belabor this, but, the films of Mountainfilms are on film (i.e. they are are already recorded for posterity) They are probably available at any number of sites. The meeting of two truly titanic SEC football teams, like these, happens, maybe, once a decade. It's just football, but I have seldom witness a better clash of truly great athletes in a battle of strength, grace and endurance than this particular game. Mountainfilms will be back next year, and I am just a little bit sad that this may have been the first year that I missed it. Roll Tide.

We usually institute a strict "info blackout" and then watch the game right after the more important event - and save time/catch-up by skipping the commercials.

DVR is a magic invention IMO.

I promise no more football in this thread, but I'm thinking there was an impact in movie houses, restaurants, shops, you name it all over the south Saturday night :lol:

BIRMINGHAM, Alabama -- Moving Alabama-LSU to primetime paid off nicely for CBS, which said Saturday produced the network's most-watched regular season college football game in 22 years.

Different strokes for different folks - IMO a live event always trumps what is on TV, but I'd much rather have you watching the game at home/a bar than at MtnFilm constantly messing with your GD phone while I am trying to enjoy that event.

Who won BTW?

Anyhoo - I think the movie about the different ways a bike can make a huge difference in someone's life was the best one. I liked the winter kayaking one too. The longer kayak one not as much as I was just waiting for the guy to die and it cast a pall over it.

Also liked the short interview with the guy who interrupted the oil/gas auction.

Last year's films made me try and cut my use of plastic, especially bags. This year's makes me want to take over the power grid ..... or get off it!

I liked the bike film but thought it ran about five minutes too long. Really enjoyed the final one Friday night about the Japanese fellow. The plastic beachcombers were interesting. I missed seeing some of the extreme athlete features Friday I am used to, and yes, I do remember the film on the skier.

Ooh, I forgot about the plastic artists! They were hilarious!
